In 1% of pregnancies, the pregnancy settles outside the uterine cavity, such as in the fallopian tube, abdominal cavity, or ovary.

This type of pregnancy has causes, including:

Damage to the fallopian tubes due to some pelvic infections or previous surgeries
Use of contraceptives such as the IUD and emergency pills (Morning after Pills)
Assisted reproductive technologies

Ectopic pregnancy has multiple symptoms, the most important of which are bleeding, pain, and fainting.

Rapid diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy are important factors to avoid complications that are dangerous to the pregnant woman’s life and long-term complications affecting the woman’s reproductive ability.
